List 5 Doctor of Medicine (MD) near Lake City, FL (part 2)

Elizabeth Bell I called for my mammogram appointment today (9/19) and was told my appointment would be in December. That is ridiculous! 3 months to wait for an appointment. Ridiculous! I’ll be finding another provider.

satanyas mom I had a mammogram and ultrasound done here and I cant say one negative thing about my whole experience, including check in! Everyone was kind and the nurses were compassionate during the procedures. I highly recommend them!

Antonella Lavoile Had an appointment for my first mammogram at this location. Everyone was professional, the lady who took care of me was Lisa , she was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable to continue with the process. I would definitely recommend this place for your MRI, screenings or X-rays. Looking forward to come back next year.

Tuesday Brown Gone there several times over the years havent been since they changed names. Went a month ago for a ultrasound was told I could pay my portion up front and save money. Just received a bill for 75$ with no explanation for what it is for asked a facility because I had another appt for a different test told the same pay up front save money. Checked my insurance and noticed this place has a separate bill for them to read it. Then noticed Bill says Hospital Outpatient. Beware will be going elsewhere in the future. Will avoid hospital imaging.

debra saxon The person who did my imaging was very professional. The lady who checked me in today was not very welcoming or friendly. She told me I was late right off. I told her when I called to make this appointment I was given 7:30 as a time. When I received the automated appointment reminder it said 7-8. I was there at 7am. Not sure what is going on with the appointment scheduling but no one told me 6:45. Maybe she’s not the right person to be greeting patients. I work in healthcare myself and I never would have been so aloof.

Dianna James Not much to say about her regarding my needs. I mean of bad comments, except for holding your insulin refill unless you go see her. My boyfriend did see her and he’s diabetic and the price of the medication was almost & 300.00 and so he called her to see if the was any other insulin that was cheaper that he can afford and she told him that u must come back in to see me first. That’s ridiculous it’s like see me or nothing.

Kellie Coyte My new primary doctor. Second visit. She changed my medicine without knowledge. Fired me as a patient for being upset. Now wont give me a referral to an orthopedic so I can deal with my disabilities. I do NOT recommend her. She does NOT listen nor care about her patients. She just does whatever she wants.

Fahmida Sheuly I have been consulting with Dr. Begum ever since she has become an MD. She is extremely bright and does thorough review of my history and all related factors before giving any medical recommendations. She is very direct (Id rather have my doctor be direct than not) but also compassionate. She has experience practicing in two different countries and different states. She is very cultured and knows how to relate to patients from various cultural and religious backgrounds. Shes multi-lingual and can fluently practice medicine in both English and Bengali, which makes her a great doctor for me. She also focuses lifestyle changes before rushing into recommending medication. I highly recommend Dr. Begum and her partner Mr. Huda who helps manage the clinic.

Kristina Lima The time you go to see the doctor youve been waiting like an hour and the next hour in the waiting room, they dont call you on the same time. Done with this doctor, Im not going to this doctors appointment, this is crazy, she charged me 90 dollars for what I dont know, Im changing to a new doctor, and Im not going to this one.

James Riley I saw Dr. Begum 5 times over a 2 month period, each time waiting over 45 minutes. She spoke too fast, was rude to her staff and disrespectful of my requests as an informed patient. I was in pain because of severe stenosis in my cervical spine and felt there were treatments we were missing while I waited to see a neurosurgeon (they sometimes schedule 6 to 8 weeks out). When I confronted her she became defensive and asked me to leave her office and not come back. This put me in a terrible position because my insurance coverage demands constant input from the PCP. She even refused a simple signature that would have enabled me to start PT. Doctors who are not willing to discuss treatment with their patients and cannot learn from their experiences are really scary. She should not be in the medical profession!

CC fReEdOm Seeker & Constitutionalist We have been bringing our children here for ever especially with Amanda who has always been so pleasant,polite , and great with the children. The doctors are all very outstanding and have great attitudes . always clean and the playground keeps them busy while waiting. The receptionist is always awesome . Thanks for being great and always having an answer or solution to a problem...

Infantry Outdoors Very unprofessional office and staff. Hour and 30 wait to see the doctor with loads of excuses. Getting prescriptions filled with them is ALWAYS a issie of some kind on behalf of the office. Mind you we have used them for the last year and on more than one occadion my son went with out his meds for days. They patient is of no importace to them and they get to you when THEY feel like it. Forget appointment times here because your time is NOT IMPOTANT HERE! I will only continue here as a LAST RESORT!

David Michalkiewicz Weve been coming here since 2008, after being sorely disappointed with another Lake City pediatricians office. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. Wait times are about what youd expect from a doctors office.

Marcia McAdams We had an 8am appointment they double scheduled us and they took the other two kids first it’s now 8:35 and we are still waiting no one here seems to care. I agree with other reviewers the receptionist is very rude not what you would expect from a pediatricians office.

Tiffany Wilson Easy to get an appointment, expect to wait most days 20 minutes or more past your appointment time. The staff is lovely and the reason my kids still go there. Continuity of care has gotten better.

Denise Wolfe I walked in in a panic with pieces for one pair and backup glasses hanging by a thread. I left with a functional and well fitted pair of glasses and an order for new pair. Thank you so much. Eyeglass ladies are great. Im picking up new glasses next week so Ill share again.

Trinity Roberts I’ve brought my granny here 3 times now because she needs new glasses. She’s been seen twice, each time we had to wait 3+ hours after her appointment time (which we’ve always been 15+ minutes early for). We waited 2 hours after her appointment time today before asking what was taking so long, the receptionist told us “there are still people who had appointments at 9 that haven’t been seen” it was 11:45 at that time. Idk if they’re just ver booking patients or if the doctors are just impossible to keep on track. I understand emergencies but waiting HOURS when you have an appointment is crazy to me. My granny never even got a new prescription for glasses after two appointments so every trip we made up there was wasted.

April Lynn They are very slow. Brought my Mom in 15 minutes early and she has currently been in the office for 2 hours and still counting. Hardly anyone in the waiting room. Bathrooms are filthy with trash overflowing as the ladies just sit behind the desk giggling at one another. Hoping the Doctor is better than the office.

Cindy Dr. Bodendorfer was an excellent doctor. He was able to avoid my scheduled cataract surgery by helped me realize my problem could be solved with a contact lens. Thank you very much. He was also very attuned to my needs and did not rush visit.

Dennis Muter As the Mrs.of a patient...I was shocked to find they had a software glitch that was giving out wrong prescriptions since October of 2024 and never contacted by any method to correct error.So many folks have had glasses made incorrectly and wasted valuable resources.Mistakes happen. It is how you take action that speaks to your character .To me it says C.Y.A.Very creepy.Shelley Muter. Update...they charged 25 dollars to reissue correct prescription with a promise to refund it....no refund.

John Cathy Very upset with this office! I went today for my annual appointment to be told “your appointment was canceled.” Receptionist said “they called you 3 times to let you know.” I replied “No, I have had no messages from this Clinic.” The receptionist verified the phone number then asked “is your voicemail full?” No, my voicemail is not full and I got NO voicemail from this clinic. I missed 5 hours of work and had nothing to eat for over 14 hours (for labs) for NOTHING.

Joetta Bennett Went there five times about being itchy and I think that I contacted scabies but I didnt have any rashes they didnt bother to do a scraping to rule out scabies they told me to change my laundry detergent and soap that I could have sensitive skin then my insurance changed and I had to find another doctor but anyways I do have scabies so I suffered for months being itchy. They should listen to the patients more and they need to learn more about scabies that not everyone has tracts or have rashes and some people are just carriers.

Saxons dad Very satisfied with this doctor and his staff. I have been an RN for at least as long as Dr. Strauss has been a doctor and he is very knowledgeable. His staff are courteous and efficient. It is fairly easy to get an appointment when needed and the wait times are short. They could manage their labs a little better, sometimes they do not coordinate your visits with and labs they might need, once or twice my wife had to return for additional labs that might have better been ordered initially but this is not a serious concern. Dr. Strauss tends to leave the routine management of his stable patients to his PA and ARNPs after he is acquainted with the patient and this is normal practice today and works well. He has definite opinions on what he thinks is proper care and treatment but will discuss options with you if needed. He is not afraid to look you in the eye and tell you what you need to do for your health, and this can be uncomfortable but it is also good medical practice. If you need to lose weight, he will tell you and explain the consequences if you dont. No one likes to hear it but it is the right thing for him to do.

T. Thomas It was more than a disappointing experience by trying to get established at this office.This medical practice uses antiquated methods which makes it run ineffeciently. They move patients from the lobby to another waiting lobby in the back. The office staff and lab techs are inconsiderate with awful customer service skills. They are more concerned about what they are ordering for breakfast and whats being catered for lunch rather than concern for the patient right in front of them. Excessive wait times for the simplest things like checking out with the rudest clerk I have ever encountered.

Josephine Abbate Dr. Strauss and his staff is amazing! They saved my husbands life and it was because they were thorough & cared enough. I am forever indebted to them.
